Evaluation of the Accuracy of Immunostaining of Claudin 2 to Detect Active or Inactive Inflammation in Endoscopic Biopsies of IBD

Sponsor: IRCCS Policlinico S. Donato

Summary

In view of the increasing evidence of the importance of mucosal healing as a combination of endoscopic and histologic healing, and the complexity and lack of complete agreement of the evaluation of histologic healing in IBD, the aim of this study will be to evaluate the accuracy of a new methodology, the immunostaining for Claudine 2 as compared to others standard well-accepted scoring for histologic activity in IBD. The aim is compare the accuracy of this methodology and in addition the correlation with outcomes (i.e. relapse, hospitalization, surgery).
